                                              —ADELE 25 LYRICS MEME—

Hello

“I was wondering if after all these years you’d like to meet” “They say that time’s supposed to heal ya, but I ain’t done much healing” “I’ve forgotten how it felt before the world fell at our feet” “I must have called a thousand times to tell you I’m sorry for everything that I’ve done” “At least I can say that I’ve tried” “I’m sorry for breaking your heart” “It’s so typical of me to talk about myself, I’m sorry” “Did you ever make it out of that town where nothing ever happened?” “It clearly doesn’t tear you apart anymore”

Send My Love (To Your New Lover)

“This was all you, none of it me” “You told me you were ready” “I’m giving you up” “You set me free” “Send my love to your new lover” “We both know we ain’t kids no more” “You couldn’t keep up, you were falling down” “If you’re ready, I am ready”

I Miss You

“I want every single piece of you” “I want to teach you things you never knew baby” “Then kiss me back to life to see your body standing over me” “I miss you when the lights go out”  “Pull me in hold me tight don’t let go” “I love the way your body moves” “No one has me like you do baby” “Be delicate with my ego” “We play so dirty in the dark”

When We Were Young

“Everybody loves the things you do” “Everybody here is watching you” “You’re like a dream come true” “Can I have a moment before I go?” “My God, this reminds me of when we were young” “Let me photograph you in this light” “We were sad of getting old” “It was just like a movie” “I was so scared to face my fears” “Nobody told me that you’d be here” “That’s what you said, when you left me” “A part of me keeps holding on" “I guess I still care” “Do you still care?”

Remedy

“This ain’t easy it’s not meant to be” “No river is too wide or too deep for me to swim to you” “When the world seems so cruel and your heart makes you feel like a fool, I promise you will see I will be your remedy” “Your love, it is my truth“ “And I will always love you”

Water Under the Bridge

“If you’re not the one for me then how come I can bring you to your knees” “If you’re not the one for me why do I hate the idea of being free?” “If I’m not the one for you, you’ve gotta stop holding me the way you do” “I want you to be my keeper but not if you are so reckless” “If you’re gonna let me down, let me down gently” “Don’t pretend that you don’t want me” “What are you waiting for?” “And who are you hiding from?” “Have I ever asked for much?” “The only thing that I want is your love”

River Lea

“I need to learn to lighten up and learn how to be young” “I’m scared to death if I let you in that you’ll see I’m just a fake” “I stain every heart that I use to heal the pain” “I should probably tell you now before it’s way too late” “I never meant to hurt you or lie straight to your face” “I’d rather say it now in case I never get the chance”

Love in the Dark

“Take your eyes off of me so I can leave” “I’m far too ashamed to do it with you watching me” “I can’t stay this time cause I don’t love you anymore” “Don’t come any closer” “I’m being cruel to be kind” “I can’t love you in the dark” “It feels like we’re oceans apart” “You have given me something that I can’t live without” “I don’t want to carry on like everything is fine” “The longer we ignore it all the more that we will fight” “ I’m trying to be brave” “Stop asking me to stay” “I don’t regret a thing” “It is the world to me that you are in my life” “I want to live and not just survive” “I don’t think you can save me”

Million Years Ago

“I only wanted to have fun” “Deep down I must have always known that this would be inevitable” “I know I’m not the only one who regrets the things they’ve done” “Sometimes I just feel it’s only me who can’t stand the reflection that they see” “I feel like my life is flashing by” “They can’t look me in the eye it’s like they’re scared of me”

All I Ask

“Why don’t we just play pretend” “Look, don’t get me wrong, I know there is no tomorrow” “If this is my last night with you hold me like I’m more than just a friend” “Take me by the hand while we do what lovers do” “What if I never love again?” “I don’t need your honesty” “I’m sure my eyes, they speak for me” “No one knows me like you do” “Let this be the way we remember us” “I ain’t asking for forgiveness”

Sweetest Devotion

“We can break every law” “There is something in your loving that tears down my walls” “I weren’t ready then, I’m ready now” “You will only be eternally the one that I belong to” “Come whatever I’ll be yours all along” “I’ve been looking for you, baby, in every face that I’ve ever known” “There is something about the way you love me that finally feels like home” “You’re the right kind of madness”

—BONUS—

Can’t Let Go

“I have loved you all my life” “I gave you everything you never gave me” “I never lied and I never faked it” “This love, it ain’t over yet” “Did you find the note that I wrote?” “It was hard to write with a lump in my throat” “What was I thinking, I gave you everything” “Sometimes I feel like I’m in the dark” “Hope you know, I won’t let go”

Lay Me Down

“I would never lie to you unless you tell me to” “The words don’t come out right when you’re right in front of me” “You can read my mind, be it truth or lies” “Lie down beside me”

Why Do You Love Me

“How do you keep me coming back for more?” “I can’t decide if I should run and hide” “Your love drives me crazy” “I want you to love me” “Who knows why I love you” “I spend every single moment daydreaming of you” “I can’t describe how I feel, it feels right” “You have a place in my heart that will always be yours”

“Your shoes are untied.”

“Really?” Zach looked down. Sure enough, they were. “Son of a bitch. Thanks.”

[wingedankles]

“I think your fly’s open, too.”

[it-equals-alchemy]

He whispered something along the lines of "God dammit" and zipped his fly. "That was embarrassing."

[scalysacrilege]

“Yeah, I’m spreadin’ Christmas cheer to my hometown, or some sentimental B.S. like that.” Digging in his pocket, he pulls out the bag, then tilts his head, smirking crookedly. “‘Ey, you need any help with Christmas, fella? I’ve been offerin’ it to pretty much everyone I’ve visited, but only a couple actually took me up on it. I guess you folks ain’t used to people bein’ neighborly.”

Something he could understand, but that wasn’t really necessary in this context. “If y’don’t, I can just scoot, but I figure if I’m gonna be nice, it might as well be when it matters.”

[it-equals-alchemy]

“Thanks, I guess.” He took the bag and set it inside. Coming back to the door, he looked the man over. He seemed trustworthy enough. An extra set of hands might be helpful. “Can you wrap presents?”

[scalysacrilege]

“Sure can, Chief. I’ve been doin’ it all afternoon. What’s the load, I’ve got all day.” He seems prepped to help, cracking his knuckles. “Can I come in, or am I just gonna be wrappin’ presents out here for ya’ own safety?” He grins those bright teeth, chuckling benevolently. “Who’re we hidin’ from, anyway.”

[it-equals-alchemy]

"Yeah, come on it. Probably a lot warmer in here anyway." He moved to the side. "Sorry. The last time I let a random guy in, he tried to take off with my TV." Said TV was attached to the wall, playing a holiday music channel. In the middle of the floor, there was a little blond boy idly playing with a stuffed ant.

“Of course.” She gently nudged her way in to get at the equipment, unconsciously treating him like he was made of glass. Seeing him like that made her hurt. The last thing she wanted was to make things worse.

      Hank moved out of the way so she could actually see and went to his coffee pot to refill his mug. He hated how obvious he was about his mental state, but he couldn’t bring himself to disclose more about it to Alex. She was his assistant; she didn’t need to be burdened with all of his psychological issues.

[it-equals-alchemy]

"You don't have to be strong or whatever for my sake, you know. Things happen." She didn't look at him, focusing on watching the numbers until they settled. "I'm not going to judge you."

[scalysacrilege]

@it-equals-alchemy

Why the hell was he back in this shithole of a city? Mainly because he felt like sharing some of the holiday with his former neighbors. Well, sort of? He didn’t know these people. Sure, he was breaking the vow he made that he’d never be in the same state as his parents ever again, but who knows, maybe they moved without him around to tie them down.

That’d be a blessing. Either way, here he is, in an apartment building in New York, and he brings up a set of knuckles to lazily knock on the door, before he sticks his hand back in the pocket of his leather jacket, the other coming up to straighten the scarf tucked between it and his shirt. In a pocket of his cargos, there’s a small card tied to a bag of goodies, the last one he wanted to deliver today.

It was a little nostalgic. NYC was just as awful and smoggy as he remembered it being. So used he was to the much cleaner air of Eveny that America’s air tasted nasty to him, now. He’d worry about his lungs later.

[it-equals-alchemy]

Zach had been wrapping presents for Daniel when he heard a knock on the door. Opening the door, he found himself looking at a rather attractive man in maybe his late twenties.

“Um. Can I help you with something?” What was this guy doing here?

“Not really. Just move on if I can’t get back, other than Balder everyone else is here.”
